For example: What I wanted to know was what the difference is between embedding a style sheet and a simple graphic. Or perhaps embedding a script through the SRC attribute. Will the style sheet and or script read? Will the fallback content also be shown? What is the scope of the style sheet and script in for example: <h src="foo.css">Samples</h> ... <h src="foo.js">Samples</h> ... et cetera. Clearly, that is not the same as just showing an image if the browser is supposed to do something with the script and style sheet and therefore I was wondering if the MIME type of the embedded object was significant. (Same applies to <h src="foo.exe">, <h src="foo.doc">, <h src="foo.pdf">, et cetera I guess.) Regards, Anne -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/>
